  • Yeah but what your dad didn’t talk about was how the generational connection to the meme has been slowly bled out by social media companies, replacing genuine nostalgia for manufactured social humor.

    That is to say, boomers felt more connected to their memes than they did to ours, and more than we did to ours.

    Likewise, we have more connection to the memes of our youth than Gen Z supposedly will/does to their memes.

    And of course, it’s a bunch of B.S. because how do you quantify nostalgic connection! We didn’t watch Skibidi toilet, so how could we call upon it’s nostalgia the same way that we do for F7U12 or Trollolol?

    The only thing I could potentially agree with about my own claims here are that there is a small shift in the amount of relevance of each generations cultural memehood, where as each newer generation comes, there is more and more content to draw from. Not only do current generations have Mario and Sonic memes, they also have Skibidi and social memes, so I could see there being a bit of a “limit” on how possible it is to like all of the memes equally.

    Basically, in 20 years, will Skibidi be looked back at as fondly as Rage comics? Honestly, probably. But how about all of the other 49,000 memes?

    The best meme survives, so what will be nostalgic for Gen Z?








  • If the game is local co-op ask you need to do is click a checkbox.

    Also community mod support.

    I get that the post is probably just meme, and that if real the type of person to post this probably pirates all their games on Linux and doesn’t use other storefronts either, but like do they want everyone to do the same thing? Don’t we want to buy games from developers so they can continue to do that? And the other storefronts, well one, might have a lower cut, but they also provide pretty much jack-sh unless you count money upfront and no lasting support as being a provider.





  • There’s definitely an interesting aspect that you can only access games profile content if you own the game. So, no Starfield pfps of you didn’t buy the game.

    On one hand, buying the game gives you points which is usually enough to buy the set. On the other hand, you do have to own the game to get access to buying these accessories in the first place.

    Personally it’s not really a big deal to me given that they are just .APNG’s that you can upload yourself. But I guess the OP didn’t want to put Valve in a positive light by saying that users can customize their accounts for free.
